OVERVIEW:
Are you our next Santoni Programmer/Designer? We're looking for someone to join our Product function within the Sourcing team at our new Development Centre, to help build a competitive advantage in our product creation capabilities. Someone who wants to be part of a team that lifts each other up; a team that fails together and celebrates together. Someone who likes each day to be different, the challenge of doing things differently, and the freedom to figure things out for themselves. We work hard, sure, but we have a laugh while we do it. Sound like you?
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:
You will be a highly skilled technical knit programmer who can lead creative knit projects across various knitting Santoni technologies using multiple software tools. You will act as an educator, a creator, a creative thought partner and an innovation problem solver for designers and developers. You will establish knit and programming standard methodologies with our global manufacturing partners. You will be a flexible self-starter, motivated to grow and learn continually, a strong team player and a proficient multi- tasker who can work on products across multiple seasons.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
When normal office working resumes, our expectation would require candidates to attend 5 days a week in GSHQ, Solihull, UK.
WE HIRE PEOPLE.
Real-life humans, each with their own unique set of thoughts, beliefs, cultures and identities with a background and body that is completely individual. Together, as unique individuals, we make Gymshark stronger.
If you're reading this, you're probably applying for or considering applying for a job with us, and we want you to know that Gymshark is an equal opportunity employer. For us, that means we always, and will always, strive to be as inclusive as possible in all aspects of employment and that we do not, and will not, tolerate discrimination of any kind.
ABOUT US.
We're here to unite the conditioning community. We believe that putting the sweat in today, prepares us for tomorrow. So, we give people the tools they need to reach further, go faster, be stronger. We celebrate those who show up - for themselves - to be their physical or mental best, whatever that means for them. It's what we want for our community, and our team. A team that's growing rapidly around the world. A collective of talented individuals working together to invent Gymshark's future. Our plans are ambitious, and we're looking for people who want to join us for the ride - our growth will be your growth.
